We often find errors in tbe plurals of nouns ending in “o.” To avoid tbis bear in 
mind the following general rule: If there is a consonant before the final “o” the plural 
is “es, ” but if a vowel precedes it the plural is formed by adding only the “s.” There 
are, however, some exceptions to-this rule, and they are here given, as follows:

WORDS ENDING IN “ISE.” 


Words ending with the sound of “ize ' are variously spelled “ise” or “ ize.” Of this 
class the correct spelling of the following words is “ise;” nearly if not quite all others 
take “ize:” 


advertise 

advise 

affranchise 

apprise 

catechise 

chastise 

circumcise 

comprise 

compromise 

criticise 


demise 

despise 

devise 

disfranchise. 

disguise

surmise

“El” AND “iE.” 


Many persons find it difficult or impossible to recollect the relative position of “e” 
and “i” in such words as “receive,” “believe,” etc. If they will bear in mind the fol¬ 
lowing rule, it may save them the trouble of referring to a dictionary for this point: 
When the derivative noun ends in “tion,” the verb is spelled with “ei,” thus; 

conception conceive 

deception deceive 

reception receive 


But when the noun does not end in “tion,*' the verb is spelled with “ie,” as: 
belief believe 


An old printer gives the following rule for using “ei ” and “ie,” viz: Bear in mind the 
word “lice”—“i” follows “1” and “e” follows “c,” thus, li ce. 

Following is a list of the words beginning with “s” ami followed by “ei” or “ie,” 
the parts of words in parentheses to be joined to the prefix in heavy type as a single 
word: 


seiches siege 

seidlitz sienna 

seignior (age, alty, y) Siennese 

seirospore siesta 

seismology (mal, mic, mograph, mometry, moscope) sieur 
8e ity sieva 

seize (able, in, or) sieve
